"Yeah, it's that simple." Moxue said.
"But, we didn't even find the cat demon—" Shi Yitong said halfway, but was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
It turned out that the old couple upstairs saw us coming from the window and hurried down and opened the door.
"Gu Yu, about the cat demon—" the old woman hurriedly said, but suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, her eyes were fixed on Mo Xue, her mouth was opened wide.
I froze for a moment, looked at the old woman, then at Moxue. Moxue's expression was very calm, or rather... calm to the point of indifference.
"What exactly is going on?"
Then the old gentleman also cried out, pointed at Moxue with trembling fingers, and shouted anxiously, "She, she! She is that cat demon!"
Shi Yitong and I were shocked, and I was even more shocked than I could react.
"Wait, you said Moxue is a cat demon?" Shi Yitong hastily defended, "No, this girl is a friend we know, did you recognize the wrong person!"
"How could we admit our mistake!" The old man snorted, and said viciously, "Even if her face is turned into ashes, we will still know her! Damn evildoer, pay my son's life back!"
"Wait, wait, there must be something wrong, right?" I couldn't help but retort, "How could Mo Xue—"
"Gu good man, you are really a good man."
At this moment, Moxue spoke coldly and interrupted my words. I turned my head to look at her. Her expression was almost the same as before. There was no hint of coquettishness in her eyes. Instead, she smiled with unknown meaning and looked at me quietly.
"Stupid Gu Yu, don't you understand even now?" Moxue raised her chin, "I've been teasing you all the time, it's so interesting to see you hustle around but still can't find the result. You humans really are It's too stupid to save, it doesn't matter which one is the same, it's so funny!"
How... how could this be? I took a step back in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Don't you dare to admit the truth?" Moxue approached me with a sneer, "Then I'll tell you. I, Moxue, am the Jinhua cat demon who cursed the couple's son, the monster you have been looking for it is me!"
The old woman screamed, "She, that's her! Brother, catch her!"
"Grab her! Only by grabbing her can Yingcai's life be saved!" The old man also kept shouting from the side.
"Yes, but..."
How can it be? How could Moxue be a cat demon? Most importantly, how could Moxue do such a thing
"Quick, hurry up, look, look at her!" The old man cried out in fear, pointing tremblingly at Moxue.
I looked at Moxue, her body was changing, cat ears grew on her head, cat tails grew on her buttocks, sharp fangs were exposed, she looked like a cat demon.
"Aren't you going to attack?" She said provocatively, "Then I'll eat up everyone here."
"Hurry up! Aren't you an exorcist!" the old woman yelled in fear.
"Damn it, I want to avenge Yingcai!" The old man yelled and rushed over.
"Gu Yu, think of a way!" Shi Yitong also cried anxiously.
All kinds of different thoughts and voices mixed together in my ears, buzzing like bees without stopping. At this critical moment, Moxue suddenly screamed, something almost hurt her. With a quick backhand grip, she grabbed the murder weapon. It turned out to be an arrow.
an arrow
I looked in the direction of the arrow and opened my mouth in surprise.
Ten steps away from us, Wen Jiubai was wearing a red arrow sleeve, standing upright, drawing a longbow with both hands, and the wind was blowing his hair and the hem of his clothes.
He seemed to be one with the wind.
"Get out of the way." Wen Jiubai said coldly.
I was startled and shouted, "What are you doing!"
"What do you think?" Wen Jiubai pulled out another arrow from behind, re-drawn the bow fully, aimed it at Moxue, and said lazily, "I knew that you, a half-assed, would not be able to complete the commission properly, so I still Came here to help you clean up the mess. Now, get out of the way."
"No way!" When Wen Jiubai said this, I was so excited that I stood in front of Moxue without thinking, "I won't let you kill her!"
Wen Jiubai's expression was still calm, "You also know that the only way to break the curse is to let the victim eat the meat of the cat demon. This is a commission you have accepted on your own initiative. Now that you have accepted it, you must complete it carefully."
But, but...
No, something is wrong. I suddenly looked at the old couple standing aside, and there was something else in the old gentleman's eyes besides fear, which was apprehension.
What are you worried about? I followed the old man's gaze, and found that his eyes were fixed on the arrow that was about to be released from Wen Jiubai's hand.
"But Moxue didn't curse anyone." I settled down and said every word.
"Oh?" Wen Jiubai showed contemptuous eyes, "Is it because you became good friends with her within this week?"
"No." I shook my head lightly and said firmly, "Because the old couple who entrusted me are lying."
"What?" the old woman asked suspiciously.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about!" The old man immediately roared angrily, "Nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" I retorted loudly, and there was a hint of darkness in my eyes, "It's not Mo Xue who cursed, but you. I don't know who of you came up with this idea, but I'm afraid it was Do you want the fur of Jinhua cat?"
"What did you say?" Shi Yitong asked in surprise.
"Nonsense!" The old man's face turned red with anger.
"You were staring at the arrow in Wen Jiubai's hand just now, because you were afraid that his arrow would hurt the fur!" I said sharply, pointing out sharply, "Your son has never been cursed at all! No, it should be you There is no son at all. There is very little furniture in the room, and there are only two chairs. There is only one pair of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, and there is no third person living here. In the process of looking for the Jinhua cat, Shi Yitong and I also After checking a lot of information, there is still a legend about the Jinhua cat, that is, after killing the cat demon, wearing the fur of the cat demon on the body can cure all diseases and live forever. Therefore, it is because of this that you entrust me to find the cat demon right?"
"So... I thought it was weird before!" Shi Yitong said angrily, "Obviously my son is sick, but the parents don't see how they care about their son, but they are so anxious to find Jinhua cat!"
